Motown the Musical THE MORNING LINE DATE: Tuesday, November 24, 2015 FROM: Melissa Cohen, Michelle Farabaugh PAGES: 14, including this page. C4 November 24, 2015 C4 November 23, 2015 ‘Dames at Sea’ Will Close on Broadway By Lorne Manly “Dames at Sea,” which in October finally got its Broadway premieren early 50 years after its original Off Off Broadway production, will take its final bow at the Helen Hayes Theater on Jan. 3. The musical, a perky, loving send-up of 1930s movies musicals with plenty of corny jokes, received a few strong reviews, but most were mixed or disappointed. And despite playing at the smallest Broadway house, “Dames at Sea” in a number of recent weeks struggled to fill more than 65 percent of the theater. When the show closes, it will have played 32 preview and 85 regular performances. In announcing the closing, the producers said they planned a national tour of the musical in 2017. The departure of “Dames at Sea” opens up the Helen Hayes for a show — very likely a play — still looking for a Broadway home this season. Among the possibilities is Stephen Karam’s “The Humans,” which concludes its Off Broadway run on Jan. 3. November 23, 2015 ‘Motown’ Will Return to Broadway Next Summer By Lorne Manly From left, Jawan Jackson, Ephraim Sykes, Julius Thomas III, Donald Webber Jr. and Jesse Nager in "Motown the Musical" at the Lunt-Fontanne Theater in 2013.Credit Sara Krulwich/The New York Times As promised by its producers, “Motown: The Musical” will return to Broadway next summer just a year and half after its first New York run. More surprising is where the show will land: the Nederlander Theater, where “Disaster!,” a parody of 1970s disaster movies, will have opened just a few months earlier. “Disaster!” affectionately sends up such movies as “The Poseidon Adventure” and “Earthquake” as tragedies strike the occupants of a floating nightclub-casino, who must also fend off musical earworms of the era like “Don’t Cry Out Loud” and “Feelings.” The musical, which stars Tony Award winners Roger Bart and Faith Prince with a book by Seth Rudetsky and Jack Plotnick, opens on March 8. Last week, as tickets went on sale, the show announced it was a limited run through July 3. Such limited engagements on Broadway are typically reserved for plays with Hollywood stars, not the more costly musicals that need longer runs to recoup their investments. But short runs can make it easier to nab big names amid their busy schedules, as was the case with “Disaster!” — which played Off Broadway with another cast in 2013 — and perhaps inspire urgency in prospective ticket buyers. More important, shows can also use a short Broadway stint as a branding opportunity, helping plans for national (or even international) tours. “Broadway and the West End are the launching grounds for musicals, commercially,” said Robert Ahrens, the lead producer for “Disaster!” “By playing on Broadway, that opens the rest of the world for us.” Of course, Mr. Ahrens is not ruling out a longer stay in New York, even though he said the show could recoup its investment in its planned 21-week run. (He declined to say what it will cost to mount.) “In the event demand is there for the show, we’d love to continue it on another Broadway theater.” Like “Disaster!,” “Motown” is a jukebox musical, tracing the history of the famed record label founded in Detroit by Berry Gordy and featuring hits like “My Girl” and “I Heard It Through the Grapevine” sung by actors playing the label’s stars The original Broadway production lasted from March 2013 to January 2015, and more than recouped its $18 million capitalization. The hiatus has allowed the creative team to tweak the show, which is now on tour (including shortening the running time by about 10 minutes), something they couldn’t do the last time “Motown” was in New York. The show is slated to run for 18 weeks this time around. “Changing a show during a Broadway run is like turning around an aircraft carrier,” said Kevin McCollum, the musical’s lead producer. November 23, 2015 'Motown The Musical' To Broadway: 'I'll Be There' Again By Mark Kennedy NEW YORK (AP) -- We've heard it through the grapevine - "Motown the Musical" is coming back to Broadway. Producer Kevin McCollum says the musical that tells the story of how Motown Records rose and fell and then rose again will return to New York starting July 2016 for an 18-week stand. McCollum said the show has gotten stronger since opening cold on Broadway two years ago and Motown Records founder and book writer Berry Gordy has sharpened the story. The show is currently on tour and will play the holidays in Washington, D.C., and early next year hits Virginia, Texas, Louisiana, Florida, Tennessee, Ohio and Wisconsin. It plays the Shaftesbury Theatre in London's West End in February. November 23, 2015 ‘Motown’ Musical Locks In Broadway Return for 2016 By Gordon Cox The musical “Motown” has set a theater and a timeframe for its Broadway return, mapping out an 18-week run that starts in July 2016 at the Nederlander Theater. When the musical posted its closing notice for January 2015, it was always the plan for the musical to circle back to New York after launching a North American tour and starting up a run in London. “Motown” will make its way back in a retooled production that tamps down on the high running costs that plagued the show’s initial Broadway staging. “Motown” was a strong box office performer from the moment it began previews in spring 2013, making a habit of posting grosses of more than $1 million a week. Sales softened slightly in subsequent months, but not by much, and it spent the final weeks of its run back in the millionaires’ club. The production recouped just before it bowed out. The return of “Motown” has the potential to post similarly robust sales, given the timing that takes advantage of summer tourism and the global familiarity with Motown and its music. Producers Kevin McCollum, Doug Morris and Berry Gordy have yet to lock in the exact date in July that “Motown” will start up again in New York. In the meantime, the West End run of “Motown” kicks off Feb. 11. November 23, 2015 Crowd-Pleasing ‘Motown The Musical’ Plots Summer ’16 Broadway Return By Jeremy Gerard Making good on a promise that seemed unlikely at the time, the producers of the Berry Gordy biotuner Motown The Musical said Monday that the musical will return to Broadway next summer for an 18-week run that will begin in July at the Nederlander Theatre. A surprise hit of the 2013-2014 season, the show ran at the Nederlander- owned Lunt-Fontanne Theatre and closed on January 18, 2015 after 775 performances. At the time, producers Kevin McCollum, Doug Morris and Gordy promised that the show would be back, an unusual commitment. The first national tour opened in Chicago in April 2014, grossing $20 million during its 16-week run and ongoing in major markets. A London production is slated to begin performances on February 11, 2016 at the Shaftsbury Theatre. Directed by Charles Randolph-Wright, Motown The Musical tells the story of the music that came out of Detroit in 1959 and had a profound impact on pop music. through the work developed and promoted by Gordy with Diana Ross, Michael Jackson, Stevie Wonder, Smokey Robinson, Marvin Gaye and many more.

    Landmarks Preservation Commission November 4, 1987; Designation List 194 LP-1311 BROOKS ATKINSON THEATER (originally Mansfield Theater), 256-262 West 47th Street, Manhattan. Built 1925-26; architect Herbert J. Krapp. Landmark Site: Borough of Manhattan Tax Map Block 1018, Lot 57. On June 14 and 15, 1982, the Landmarks Preservation Commission held a public hearing on the proposed designation as a Landmark of the Brooks Atkinson Theater and the proposed designation of the related Landmark Site (I tern No. 7). The hearing was continued to October 19, 1982. Both hearings had been duly advertised in accordance with the provisions of law. Eighty witnesses spoke or had statements read into the record in favor of designation. Two witnesses spoke in opposition to designation. The owner, with his representatives, appeared at the hearing, and indicated that he had not formulated an opinion regarding designation. The Commission has · received many letters and other expressions of support in favor of this designation. DESCRIPTION AND ANALYSIS The Brooks Atkinson Theater survives today as one of the historic theaters that symbolize American theater for both New York and the nation. Built during the mid-1920s, the Brooks Atkinson was among the half-dozen theaters constructed by the Chanin Organization, to the designs of Herbert J. Krapp, that typified the development of the Times Square/Broadway theater district. Founded by Irwin S. Chanin, the Chanin organization was a major construction company in New York. During the 1920s, Chanin branched out into the building of theaters, and helped create much of the ambience of the heart of the theater district.

  • Gospel Music and the Sonic Fictions of Black Womanhood in Twentieth-Century African American Literature
    “UP ABOVE MY HEAD”: GOSPEL MUSIC AND THE SONIC FICTIONS OF BLACK WOMANHOOD IN TWENTIETH-CENTURY AFRICAN AMERICAN LITERATURE Kimberly Gibbs Burnett A dissertation submitted to the faculty at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in partial fulfillment of the degree requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Department of English and Comparative Literature in the Graduate School. Chapel Hill 2020 Approved by: Danielle Christmas Florence Dore GerShun Avilez Glenn Hinson Candace Epps-Robertson ©2020 Kimberly Gibbs Burnett ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ii ABSTRACT Kimberly Burnett: “Up Above My Head”: Gospel Music and the Sonic Fictions of Black Womanhood in TWentieth-Century African American Literature (Under the direction of Dr. Danielle Christmas) DraWing from DuBois’s Souls of Black Folk (1903), which highlighted the Negro spirituals as a means of documenting the existence of a soul for an African American community culturally reduced to their bodily functions, gospel music figures as a reminder of the narrative of black women’s struggle for humanity and of the literary markers of a black feminist ontology. As the attention to gospel music in texts about black women demonstrates, the material conditions of poverty and oppression did not exclude the existence of their spiritual value—of their claim to humanity that was not based on conduct or social decorum. At root, this project seeks to further the scholarship in sound and black feminist studies— applying concepts, such as saturation, break, and technology to the interpretation of black womanhood in the vernacular and cultural recordings of gospel in literature. Further, this dissertation seeks to offer neW historiography of black female development in tWentieth century literature—one which is shaped by a sounding culture that took place in choir stands, on radios in cramped kitchens, and on stages all across the nation.
